Re: UK citizen and US citizen marrying in Europe

Do you know which country would be easiest and require the least documentation/visas in order for us to take a vacation there and get married during it?

UK citizen and US citizen marrying in Europe

My girlfriend and I are considering marriage. We would like to get married in Europe but we are not sure what visas/documents would be needed, if any. I'm a UK citizen and she is a US citizen. Do some European countries allow binationals to marry there?

What else could we add to my girlfriend's visa application?

Hi, U.S girlfriend was denied entry to UK and put on a plane back because of lack of return flight and IO wasn't satisfied she'd leave within 6 months. She's going to apply for a standard visitor visa for 2 months to spend both Christmas and her birthday together in the UK. So far, this is what we ...

Re: Girlfriend (US Citizen) Refused Entry to UK (help)

We're still deciding whether to apply for a two-month visitor visa for her even though she's unemployed (it's only 2 months) and she has more than enough money to fund it herself, if I was not helping out. If not, we're going to meet up in Spain or France for a month and go travelling together there ...

Re: Girlfriend (US Citizen) Refused Entry to UK (help)

Would offering immigration to keep her passport make any difference? No it would make no difference at all even if they could keep it. Is there no way for an American to come visit somebody in the UK for 4 months then after being refused entry once? It would be difficult if the person has no ties ...

Re: Girlfriend (US Citizen) Refused Entry to UK (help)

Firstly I sympathise with you, I was in a very similar situation a few years ago where a foreign (ex)girlfriend of mine was denied entry to the UK while I was waiting for her at Heathrow for hours, where she was detained till her flight home the next day. I only got to spend a couple of hours with ...

Question regarding Standard Visitor Visa

I have a question regarding the Standard Visitor Visa (SVV). My girlfriend will be applying for one of these from the US as she was denied entry into the UK upon arrival yesterday. From the Internet, I have come to understand that if her visa APPLICATION is denied, she can either reapply for a new ...

Re: Girlfriend (US Citizen) Refused Entry to UK (help)

All in all, she wasn't banned from returning to the UK but they made it clear any future attempt would be greatly investigated and would be very difficult. This all seems incredibly unfair to treat her like she's done something wrong or against the law, but the very fact of the matter is, she simply ...

Re: Girlfriend (US Citizen) Refused Entry to UK (help)

One other thing I forgot to note was finances. She has over 5k in one of her accounts, and another 1.5k in another account which she offered to show the people interviewing her, but they would not accept it as they thought it wasn't enough money to support herself. They even said she cannot prove ...
